80-year-old Sophie
Судьба свела их не зря: вдвоем они составили странную, но гармоничную пару. Они родились великими выдумщиками, такими, от которых стонала школа. Их проделки можно было бы осудить и окрестить их закоренелыми хулиганами, если бы эти двое не были просто маленькими детьми. Они придумали игру, такую, которую могли придумать только они, игру «осмелишься — не осмелишься». Они брали друг друга «на слабо». Игра росла вместе с ними, и однажды они стали взрослыми. Все изменилось, но они уже не могли отличить игру от жизни, потому что игра была их жизнью. Никто не хотел уступать. Они шутили и смеялись, они делали друг другу больно, они страдали и теряли годы… Они знали, что любят друг друга, они произносили эти слова, но игра возвращалась, не позволяя им стать просто мужчиной и женщиной… Однажды изменилось и это…
